...Not in person though, but on TV (sheeesh!) and these are my side comments about it. But first, I know you're thinking that this post is late (again) since this event happened last November 2015. As usual, Eastern Visayas was hit by another strong typhoon (Nona) at the end of the year, and so goodbye electricity, goodbye internet connection. Goodbye sparkly, shiny, and beautiful little things. Anyway, at least I got the chance to see this, no matter how late. Now on to them comments.. (^_^)

1. New Angels. Lots of new girls, I've been mistaking one blonde for another or one brunette for another and well, to set things clearly, here are the photos of the bespoken Angels who keep confusing me.

2. The Veterans. They're still doing it. And thankfully. Watching a VS Fashion Show and not seeing a single familiar face is like walking into a new classroom and feeling totally empty and clueless. Here's some of them to name a few.

3. Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid. They are BFFs. Kendall is a half-sister of the Kardashians (but you knew that already, didn't you?). Gigi is David Foster's step-daughter and she also dates Zayn Malik.  Some say that they are not even legit models and are just cashing in on the popularity of their families or that they just built their careers off on uploading photos on Instagram. I've never seen them walk the runway prior to this but I can see that they know how to SLAY it. And Gigi's cheeks just won me over. 'Nuff said.

...or it might have been because Cindy Bruna was wearing this wonderful sparkly body suit that caught my attention instead.

Till the next Show! ;)

...Wait. What year is it? It's 2014 now, isn't this post a bit late?

Way too late actually, I would concede. But first things first. The annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show which is a televised event in the US is always something I look forward to year after year. More than the beautiful long-legged ladies strutting their stuff on the runway, the production itself is just amazing. You will see that everyone behind this show really gives attention to detail. Anybody who's seen it would agree with me. Anybody who has not seen it would take about 20 seconds to like it.

However, 2013 was a different game and something bigger than Victoria happened. Her name was Yolanda and well, we didn't have electricity for four (yes! four!) months so please cut me some slack. I was only able to watch this show very recently and it still made me giddy. This is pure appreciation sans any drop of insecurity. These are my favorite moments/people/etc from the 2013 Show. 

1. Candice Swanepoel opening the Show with the Fantasy Bra. I actually don't know the deets about the underwear (gah!) but in general it's the centerpiece of the Show. It's supposed to cost millions of dollars because it is encrusted with real gemstones. You can't really guess when it will come out because it doesn't necessarily have to come first. Only the 'Victoria's Secret Angels' supermodels can wear it. Some of the previous wearers are Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, Miranda Kerr, Adriana Lima and Alessandra Ambrosio who are still currently part of the Show.

And now it's finally Candice. What better way to start the show than with this bombshell walking? I first saw her in the 2010 Show and I learned that she was actually just hired to be a fit model - models that are hired just to see how a dress with look like on an actual body; kinda like a live mannequin - but the organizers saw her potential and four years on and here she is!

2. The performers: Fall Out Boy and Taylor Swift. They  opened the show singing the anthemic "Light 'Em Up" Ooh Ooh Light Em Up Ooh Ooh I'm On Fiiiire (My songs know what you did in the dark)! And they literally set the stage ablaze. 'Nuff said. They're like one helluva deadly combination.

3. Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine (with his clique) sitting on the sidelines looking absolutely pleased. This pleased and we ask why.

4. Adriana Lima's heart-shaped wings. Back and Front.
